[Dangerous gibberish from an *Inside Higher Ed* commentary](https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2020/06/25/higher-education-has-much-learn-world-work-opinion), on never-let-a-crisis-go-to-waste grounds:
> Before, [colleges and universities] represented only a relatively small cohort that recognized the importance -- and potential -- of providing flexible learning pathways that can help their students acquire the skills they need to find a good job in a turbulent economy. That cohort will only grow as higher education and employers begin to navigate a landscape that has been dramatically altered by COVID-19 -- and as more colleges and universities realize they have much to learn from the world of work.
The [piece](https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2020/06/25/higher-education-has-much-learn-world-work-opinion)'s author, Maria Flynn, is president and CEO of [JFF](https://www.jff.org). JFF describes itself as "a national nonprofit that drives change in the American workforce and education systems to achieve economic advancement for all." Its [core values](https://www.jff.org/about/)? "Mission-Driven," "Bold," Transformative," "Rigorous," and "Passionate."
Among its "[partners](https://www.jff.org/about/)" are Google and Walmart, a fact that goes unmentioneded in the *IHE* tagline.
This feels a lot like astroturf.
